1. Pay With MOLPointsOne major request when we launched premium features a while ago is support payment other than PayPal and VISA/Mastercard. We are glad that the wait is over! We now also support payment using MOLPoints, a service that's widely supported in the world especially Asia.

In addition, to thank you for your patience, we also do 20% additional discount for those of you from countries where PayPal isn't widely supported. Go grab some credits before the discount is over!

2. Smart File Checking For Themes & SoftwaresAll community based on user-generated content (i.e. YouTube, Flickr, Pinterest etc) have issue with duplicate files. M9 is no different. We have relied on people to report in forums, report using button in file page and report via email. In addition to those, we're now trying a new method of detecting duplicate file. From now on, when someone tried to upload a file that's already in our gallery, they will get an error with a link to the original file. It's currently beta and thus only applicable to themes & softwares.

You can try it yourself. Try to upload this file (a sample theme by Princeabid) into the C3 theme category. You will get the error shown above. This type of smart checking only works for themes/softwares uploaded to the gallery starting from Sept this year.

3. People In The GymThere are real humans behind everything you see here on M9. Every color, every features, every app and every posts on Facebook/Twitter are carefully crafted by members of the team. In addition to senior & junior admins, contest managers, there are some that you don't know. They are now featured in the new about us page.

4. Download CountYou are seeing a fresh drop in the total download count in your profile today because we removed "fake downloads". We have identified some fake downloads which include same person downloading same file multiple time in succession and thus act on it.

Okie that's all about the updates, stay tuned M9ers. More awesome stuff coming up, including one big release that you guys have been asking since the launch of V6 last year! And it will be free for all!
